While Wendy was still in a daze, Xiao had already come to her side and hugged her without saying a word. He still smelled so good, like Cecilia flowers mixed with the scent of wine. There was no smell of blood. He wasn't injured. That's good.
"Xiao, are you alright?" Wendy's hand touched Xiao's back, feeling the slight stiffness in the immortal's body for a moment, and feeling the bones in his thin back. "Uh..." Xiao suddenly pushed Wendy away, clutching his forehead, his karmic energy leaping incessantly. Wendy's expression changed, and he picked Xiao up, placing him on a large tree in the Wind Rises Ground. Pure wind elemental energy continuously flowed into Xiao's body, calming the leaping karmic energy, and Xiao opened his eyes.
"Have you been killing monsters a lot lately and haven't had a proper rest?" Seeing that Xiao was alright, Wendy's heart finally settled down. Xiao nodded. Recently, there have been more and more monsters near Dihua Island. Xiao had killed a lot of them, and his karma had also increased a lot, but Xiao didn't care too much. After fighting karma for so many years, Xiao knew how to deal with it.
"The Emperor said he wouldn't interfere with our relationship, but he also said that if you treat me badly, he will come to my door in person." Xiao sat up, his right hand grasping Wendy's left, their fingers intertwined. Xiao's golden eyes held unreadable emotions, but ultimately settled into unwavering resolve. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side. However, there is a risk that this body will fall into demonic possession. If I really become like that..." Xiao was about to continue when Wendy's index finger silenced his words.
“Unlucky words shouldn’t be sung in the bard’s poems, so please don’t say anything unlucky, okay?” Wendy shut Xiao’s mouth, changing the subject, “How about we go to Blue Star? Blue Star has changed a lot now.” “Blue Star, is that the planet of the mortals we met that time? But…” Xiao was a little worried about his karma. Wendy shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, go and talk to the old man first.” “Disrespectful to the Emperor… Fine, whatever you say.” Xiao sighed helplessly and disappeared in front of Wendy.
"If you insist on going, it's not impossible. I'll deal with the monsters in Dihua Continent, but don't forget your duty." Zhongli was reading a book with his legs crossed in the Rebirth Hall. It was rare for Hall Master Hu to be absent today, so he was able to have some peace and quiet. Although he knew about the relationship between Wendy and Xiao, seeing Wendy so easily abduct Xiao, and even take him to a planet that he couldn't take care of, made Zhongli want to beat Wendy up. However, if it was Xiao's own choice, then that would be a different story.
"Thank you, Emperor." Xiao was about to leave when Zhongli called out to him. "Wait a moment. That planet might be a bit risky, and I can't protect it. Take this and wear it around your neck." Zhongli casually rubbed his hand, and a small celestial star appeared in his palm. He found a thin rope in the Hall of Rebirth, and made the small celestial star into a pendant, which Zhongli personally hung around Xiao's neck.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiao said, and then left.
Wendy found the adorable ice slime from last time in the windy place. Seeing the familiar figure walking towards it, the slime was so frightened that it jumped away. However, no matter how much it jumped, it couldn't escape the hands of the wind god. The ice slime found itself being picked up again. The slime closed its eyes. Oh well, there was no escaping it.
"Hey, I found you again. It's okay, it's okay, I won't kill you. Let's go to Earth again, and this time we'll drink our fill!" Wendy saw the slime's expression and knew what it was thinking. He stroked the slime's head and said comforting words.
I must say, Wendy's technique for petting slimes is quite skillful; soon enough, the ice slime's expression changed from >.< to \u003dv\u003d
"Venti..." Xiao landed next to Venti and saw Venti stroking the Ice Slime, seemingly enjoying it immensely. The Ice Slime was initially enjoying the caress of the Anemo Archon, but suddenly felt a chill down its back, even colder than its own body temperature. Turning its head, it saw... Oh my god! How terrifying! It's going to kill Mu!
Then, Wendy watched as the previously quiet slime suddenly started burrowing into her arms. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she felt a familiar presence behind her. "Ah, Xiao, you're back. Hey, what's this?" Wendy's attention was drawn to the small star pendant hanging around Xiao's neck, but Xiao's attention was on the ice slime, which startled the slime quite a bit.
“Lord Zhongli gave it to me; it can protect me,” Xiao said. Wendy nodded and said, “Okay, all ready. Let’s go to Blue Star. Oh, right, I remember Qin Zhe gave me a lot of clothes before. Do you want to wear some?” “…No, I’m fine with this one.” Xiao refused. Wendy was a little disappointed, mainly because he saw the little dress Qin Zhe had given him and thought it would probably look good on Xiao.
"Alright then, but you have to promise me you'll wear Earth clothes when you go to Earth~" Wendy chuckled, Xiao blushed slightly and nodded, but when he saw the slime, his expression instantly turned sour.
Just as the slime thought it had escaped unscathed and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, it sensed that ominous presence again. The ice slime tried its best to curl into a ball and make itself inconspicuous. But in Wendy's arms, it couldn't help but be inconspicuous.
A flash of white light, and Wendy, Xiao, and the Ice Slime appeared on the streets of the Blue Star capital. The last time they came, there were skyscrapers and bustling traffic, but now it was a technological age, with hovercars, floating screens, and all sorts of things, almost perfectly matching the essays about the future that Chinese people wrote when they were young.
"Is this Earth? Karma... the karma has been suppressed." Xiao looked around in astonishment at everything he couldn't name, even the laws of Earth were pressing down on him, suppressing his restless karma. The two of them and Mu stood there dumbfounded on the street, looking like country bumpkins visiting the city. (?)
"Ahhh, it's Wendy! It's Wendy herself!"
"And Xiao Shangxian! Xiao Shangxian, am I your dog?!"
"The slime is so cute, let big sister touch it!"
Before long, the two of them and Mu were surrounded by enthusiastic people from the Dragon Kingdom. Seeing the growing crowd around them, Xiao's first reaction was to run away, but Wendy grabbed his hand. Her warm hand kept warming his cold hand, and it seemed that even his heart was warmed. Xiao calmed down. On Blue Star, everything could be left to Wendy.
